From the reviews

I just gotta tell ya about this super cool BJJ & Muay Thai martial arts school I found in Morristown! It’s like a big adventure playground where you get to learn awesome moves and make lots of new friends! First off, the coaches there are so professional . They’re so nice and patient, and they really know their stuff.

★★★★★ — Anisa, Feb 2024

I was a member at the previous location which was already great. This new facility, however, is simply amazing. Without naming names, it is by far cleaner and larger than the other New Jersey BJJ gyms I've trained at.

★★★★★ — Martin, Mar 2022

I’ve trained at AMA Fight Club for over 2 years now. I bet it’s the top martial arts school in the Morristown area. It has helped me develop great Muay Thai technique, physical strength and endurance, and connections with others in the classes.

★★★★★ — Rebekah, Feb 2024

I have been training jiu-jitsu for over 3 years now. On my trip to New Jersey for 2 weeks I needed someplace to train. I decided to give AMA2.0 a try. It was one of the best training experiences I had. Starting with the management, Arion was very helpful and positive.

New to kickboxing? Start at AMA Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

AMA Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at AMA Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
